2. Learn to relax, really relax

Just make sure to find something to help you clear your mind and give yourself a break, at least once everyday.

3. Work out the things you enjoy…

… and make time for them. Whether it’s playing sport, reading or cooking good food, making time for the things we enjoy helps us deal with stress better.

4. Identify your strengths

Sometimes we can get so hung up comparing ourselves to others, we don’t recognise what we’re good at. Work out what your strengths are and remind yourself of them often.

5. Face challenges early on

Try not to put off dealing with potentially difficult situations as negative thoughts of them can build up. When facing a challenge start by imagining all possible outcomes and prepare for each case.

You will then be better prepared to face that situation. You might also find that it’s the not worst case scenario you anticipated.

6. Ask for help

It may sound obvious but asking for advice about anything that might be bothering you can really help. If anything, being able to talk it through with someone you trust can give you a bit of perspective.

7. Take stock of your networks

We all have friends, family and other people in our lives who can support us in tough times. Figure out who the people are in your life that you can go to for support when you need it.
